DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Mar 11, 2014) - Parks Associates today announced consumer research that nearly one-half (47%) of video consumed on a TV set in the U.S. now comes from non-linear sources. To explore the implications of shifting video usage, Parks Associates has partnered with NAB Show, GSMA, and Digital Media Wire to produce several sessions at the Disruptive Media Conference during the 2014 NAB Show, April 5-10, 2014, in Las Vegas.
"The broad availability of high-speed broadband has radically changed the marketplace for entertainment and consumer electronics; already 36% of all video viewing in the U.S. occurs on a smartphone, tablet, or PC," said Brett Sappington, Director, Research, Parks Associates. "We are excited about this unique opportunity to showcase our broadband and entertainment research and highlight new consumer trends."
Parks Associates, a key partner of NAB Show, is producing programming and sessions at the Disruptive Media Conference, a two-day event featuring topics like gaming, content curation, video advertising, and TVE and OnDemand, among others.
"The undeniable shift in consumer media consumption habits has been a topic of much discussion at NAB Show," said NAB Executive Vice President, Conventions and Business Operations, Chris Brown. "We look forward to exploring these trends further through this dynamic session."
Brett Sappington will moderate two sessions during the Disruptive Media Conference:
